I so wanted to find something of substance here, something to actually get upset about. I have been arguing I.D. on another site and have been telling people that I would be just as opposed to the teaching of materialism or atheism in the classroom. And I hoped that I would find evidence of...
Claim 20: But gay people are a small minority. Allowing them to marry would mean nothing more than a slight alteration to the existing system and would even add support for the institution. What's all the fuss about?
This argument is hardly disingenuous. The impact to society as a whole...
Claim 10 : Banning gay marriage is like banning interracial marriage.
They have a long response to this, but none of it seems relevant, or are in fact good arguments in favour of this claim. The prohibition against interracial marriage and the prohibition of same sex marriage are not exactly...
Apparently no one has actually done this. I think that is because most proponents of same sex marriage are wise enough not to get involved to deeply with this kind of nonsense, and if I were wise I would not either. But if I were wise I just wouldnt be me. And apparently I have way too much...
Yes. If you cannot tolerate stupidity you will find yourself being intolerant of the entire human race. The man made a mistake, a stupid mistake. And he should be called on it :tsk: , and he has. He should be asked to apologise, and then that should be the end of it.
Angles do have free will, but only to a degree, and they do have a point. Angels on the other hand are another matter. (sorry Jaiket, I couldnt resist :p )
I think that is very sad. I have also experienced many rude and crude people when talking about issues like this, but I would like to assure you that I could talk about it civilly. I dont expect you to believe me and I respect your choice not to go further, I just had to say that.
And...
But what exactly does she need? Does she need God to exist? Or does she simply need to believe that God exists?
If need is an argument, then surely it is not an argument that God exists, it is an argument that belief exists, which is something that no one could argue against.
(btw, I...
That is the heart of the issue isnt it? Go ahead, make you case that same sex marriage does harm? (and dont tell me that I need to make a case that it does not do harm, we do not ask heterosexuals to prove their marriage will not harm society before we allow it)
What standard would you...
I would like to make one comment on the whole rib thing. The human rib cage is not completely symmetrical, it extends slightly lower on the left side than on the right. And because the male is larger, this difference is more pronounced on the male than on the female. For this reason it can...
Fine, fair enough. Of course I should have asked And should we not have the freedom to live according to our beliefs as long as it harms no one?" But I think it was obvious from the context that I was talking about marriage, not human sacrifice.
And I am going to give you the benefit of...
If marriage is given by God, who is to say who God has given it to? Is it possible, as I believe, that God has given love to all who will accept it?
In a free society should we not allow people to decide for themselves if marriage is of God or of Man? And should we not have the freedom to...
Does anyone else wonder if Behe is trying to throw the trial? He has faced questions like this before, and although I am not a fan, I have to admit that he has done a better job in the past.
Maybe he has realized that if Intelligent Design is taught in the classroom, people will quickly...
This is my first non-introductory post on this board. :woohoo:
Hi Victor. :D
First let me speak for myself. I do not believe in creationism but I dont think of myself as an anticreationist. I am content to allow anyone to believe whatever they wish, as long as they do not attempt...
Hello, I just discovered (or it seems rediscovered) you through a discussion on an other board - http://www.interfaithforums.com/. So I tried to register and found that someone had already used my user name. I thought this was very odd:confused: . So I tried to log in with that user name and...
